Hi

Please help, the bbpress search widgets bring up everything but my forum topics and replies, it also seems to replicate the results many times over, some 76 pages worth of repeated results.

I have search sor a solution to no end, and have narrowed it down to be a problem with my theme, as it works perfectly on a default wp theme, my theme developer isn’t responding to any request for support unfortunately, is there anyone here who could help me figure this out.

Please.

The bbpress plugin has 4 css files. I’ve inserted that css code into all 4 and the problem remains.

[Robkk]

it would work like this though

#bbpress-forums .community .bbp-author-role {
  background-color: blue;
}

or

#bbpress-forums .team .bbp-author-role {
  background-color: yellow;
}

I just tested on my test site, and I do not really see an issue with the OG tags. Maybe there is something else. You may need to try some troubleshooting.

No no, the meta tags work fine, but I don’t need this tags. And when I disable this tags in Yoast plugin, the bbpress Forum will not work. It shows me the blank page.

[Robkk]

Try some troubleshooting first if you haven’t already, check your cache(this includes browser cache if the main browser you use is safari).

I use WordPress 4.3 and bbpress 2.5.8. The theme version is Fount 3.6.

[Robkk]

Oh I know what you are talking about know. The having to login again threw me off a bit. I think you were logged in, but just didnt redirect to wp-admin. You could of easily from the WordPress Toolbar went to the admin area from there.

When you log into your site you are redirected to the homepage, but you want to be redirected to the dashboard.

There is something in bbPress that might be causing redirecting users to the homepage, like for the bbPress login form.

This can be very easily fixed by installing Peters Login Redirect plugin. Install it, configure who/what roles you want to be redirected to wp-admin.

If you do not need a plugin I think a small function could easily fix the issue also.

[Robkk]

Well thing is having meta tags shouldn’t really affect bbPress at all. And I was figuring it may be how something is configured in their plugin that is causing issues.

<meta property="og:title" content="The Rock" />
<meta property="og:type" content="video.movie" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/rock.jpg" />

Or are you saying that the meta tags do not work on bbPress forums, but the bbPress forums work fine??

Hello,

I am trying to get a sidebar to show in BBpress and it won’t appear. The forum main page is located here:

http://aespeakers.com/forums/

Under the “forums” page editor I have tried selecting both “default” and “right sidebar” as templates. I have Custom Sidebars installed which works fine now for other pages and the online store. The issue here is that I cannot get ANY sidebar to show in bbpress even if custom sidebars is disabled.

Page layout is set to have Right Sidebar. In the sidebars section I can select from Main Sidebar or bbPress Sidebar but neither will show in this case. The sidebar also does not show in the archive, individual forums, or topics within the forums.

I am using WP 4.3 running the SmartMag Theme. It seems this should work as it is shown working here.

[Brovashift]

Of course… sorry, I am forgetting to look at bbpress as a plugin, keep thinking its instead of wp.

You’re all over this Robkk… thanks again! 😉

[TJR3217]

thanks casiepa. i agree with you on open source, but that is a separate issue. if my comments were taken as slamming bbpress, that was not intended. i am just direct and make my comments based on the results i am getting. i do not have issue with anything else on the site and all other email notifications are working. on the other hand, it is worth noting that i believe i have isolated the problem. i will post here on the details if all tests work out correctly.

[Pascal Casier]

Well, to me it’s a strength to have such an open plugin where anybody can build extra blocks to do whatever he wants to obtain… For whatever is not in the core, somebody has probably already written something for it.
Just post on this forum is the issue is about bbpress. If your problem is with an email plugin, better post on the forum on that plugin to be sure to get the correct help.
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

@TJR3217
Did you get notifications before ? Do you get any standard emails like for new user creation ?
If you don’t get any emails at all, then bbpress is probably not to blame.
Personally I had lot of issues since wp 4.3, but all issues were in the plugins handling smtp emails.
Pascal.
PS. Did you get an email for this ?

[egb123]

OK thanks. So on the public site I should add the bbPress plugin to WP and then use the importer to move all of the existing forum posts and user info, etc to WP? Should I import the old forum first and then change the formatting in WP or do I create a new forum in WP the way I want it to look and then import the data? Or does it make any difference?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am new to bbPress. I have installed bbPress using the Fount theme. When I visit the forum page (http://conceivable.ca/forums/) – the forum will not load using Safari. The website seems to be appearing using Firefox and Chrome. Is the problem the Fount theme?

Thank you.

[Robkk]

You want to use a contact form plugin for your forum?? Do you need any specific placement of the forum, like in a forum post or something??

If you have a WordPress site running the bbPress plugin, you should be able to use a contact form plugin like CF7 with no problems.

[Robkk]

bbPress was a standalone software for forums in the 0.1 to 1.0 era, now with version 2.0 and on it is a WordPress plugin.

The plugin version also includes an importer for the v1 standalone version that might be helpful.

[selenii]

I have deactive the open graph in Yoast SEO options, and this brought some troubles. My forum bbpress is does not work.

Can you help me please?

[egb123]

I am really confused about how bbPress works…

I have taken over a website from a previous administrator. I replaced the WordPress site completely with a new one I developed. There was already a bbPress forum (a whole separate SQL database), so I just added a menu item to my site that linked to the existing forum directly. http://www.oakridgeoutlaws.org

Now I need to work on customizing the forum. Since I originally developed my new WP site on my own computer using WAMP I thought I would add bbPress there first to play around with it. So, from WordPress, I added the bbPress plug-in and followed the the instructions. I can make a forum show up on a page, but it is not like what is on the public server. On the real website there is a whole other SQL database for the forum. On my local site, there is just a bbpress folder in my plugins folder.

I saw a comment on another thread here that said “bbPress is not a WordPress plug-in. It is a stand-alone software.” What am I missing? What did I download when I added a plugin called bbPress?

Thank you for putting up with a confused newbie.

If your theme gets a breadcrumb, then disable Yoast’s one. You may have two breadcrumb:

First ==> WordPress
Second==> BBPress

You do this:

*/
function tempera_breadcrumbs1() {
	$temperas= tempera_get_theme_options();
	foreach ($temperas as $key => $value) { ${"$key"} = $value ; }
	global $post;
	$separator = "<i class='icon-angle-right'></i> ";
	
 if( !is_bbpress()){	
	
	if (is_page() && !is_front_page() || is_single() || is_category() || is_archive()) {
		echo '<div class="breadcrumbs">';
        echo '<a href="'.home_url().'"><i class="icon-homebread"></i></a>'.$separator ;
        if (is_page()) {

			$ancestors = get_post_ancestors($post);
            if ($ancestors) {

				$ancestors = array_reverse($ancestors);
                foreach ($ancestors as $crumb) {
                    echo '<a href="'.get_permalink($crumb).'">'.get_the_title($crumb).$separator.'</a>';
                }

				$category = get_the_category();
				echo '<a href="'.get_category_link($category[0]->cat_ID).'">'.$category[0]->cat_name.$separator.'</a>';
			}
        }
        if (is_category()) {
            $category = get_the_category();
            echo ''.$category[0]->cat_name.'';
        }		
		if (is_tag()) {
			echo ''.__('Tag','tempera').''.$separator.single_tag_title('', false);
		} 
        // Current page
        if (is_page() || is_single()) {
            echo ''.get_the_title().'';
        }
       echo '</div>';
    }
	elseif (is_home() && $tempera_frontpage!="Enable" ) {
        // Front page
        echo '<div class="breadcrumbs">';
        echo '<a href="'.home_url().'"><i class="icon-homebread"></i></a> '.$separator;

function remove_fonction_parent2() {
   remove_action('cryout_before_content_hook','tempera_breadcrumbs');
   add_action ('cryout_before_content_hook','tempera_breadcrumbs1');

You have to change the information about your theme.

Hi Robkk, I’d like to change the capabilities for the roles, so I think adding the new roles would be better.

When I move my code to my Child Theme, my website goes blank.

Do you know if theres something that I’m missing?

This is my Child Theme with the 3 new role and new capabilities in it… (when I add this code to the core bbpress files, it works, but now that I moved it to my Child Theme, my site goes blank).

<?php

// enqueue the child theme stylesheet

Function wp_schools_enqueue_scripts() {
wp_register_style( 'childstyle', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css'  );
wp_enqueue_style( 'childstyle' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wp_schools_enqueue_scripts', 11);

Hi Robkk,

thanks for pointing this out.
I’ve just installed the entire WP + bbpress from scratch, without success.
Everything does work – beside “publishing” the forum to frontend. within backend the forum gets published, also publishing as admin (via script) doesn’t change a thing.

Thanks, I’ll keep on searching. There is no need to spam my DB. Everything works.
This is an Publish/Update issue. bbpress itself runs perfect without issues at all.

Any further suggestion is very welcome, thanks.

[donchulio]

Hi Stephen,

is there any way to get a little support from you? I am not very firm in php/mysql and I need to import data to bbPress from my SMF forum. Maybe we could get in touch for a little chat? I think its nothing big for you but for me its rocket science. 😉

The import is working (except of the attachments) but the text is losing his style and there a lots of “<tt>” in the text after the import.

I would be very happy, if we can talk to each other to solve this problem. I really want to use bbPress with my community now! 🙂

Here you can see the problems: http://v2.germansimracing.de/community/
Just open one of the threads and you will see the different fonts etc.
